"Happy Ice is not shaved ice. That comes from the mouth of owner and Philadelphia native Lemeir Mitchell, who uses a special machine to create the cool swirls of bright, sticky, sweet goodness that is Philadelphia water ice. The traditional ingredients are simply water, sugar, and fruit or fruit juice, which is what Happy Ice uses daily. Los Angeles seems like the perfect place for such a cooling import, given our 263 average days of sunshine."
"Last weekend, I got off a plane at Burbank's airport around lunchtime with one thing on my mind: shawarma. And what better way to have shawarma than to enjoy the juicy wagyu beef rendition from Avi Cue in Studio City? A whole wagyu pita clocks in at $25 but feels more than worth the heftier price point - the pita gets swiped with tahini and amba and stuffed to the brim with dripping beef, sliced tomato, onion, and parsley."
Happy Ice serves Philadelphia-style water ice made with water, sugar, and fruit or fruit juice, churned in a special machine to create cool swirls. Flavors evoke Gen X and millennial childhoods, including watermelon, sour apple crush, strawberry lemonade, and cherry bomb; mixes are available. The scoops are creamy and soothing without dairy, and the menu is kosher, dairy- and nut-free with locations in Northridge and on Melrose Avenue. Avi Cue in Studio City offers a wagyu shawarma pita swiped with tahini and amba, filled with juicy beef, tomato, onion, and parsley; a whole pita is $25 and a half is $15. Matbucha, a roasted tomato and bell pepper hot sauce, is recommended as a spicy side.
